Lemons are a Girl's Best Friend - Preorder for 3/6/18

How often do you pamper yourself?
     Daily?
          Weekly?
               Monthly?
                    Never?
Do you go somewhere to get pampered?  Do it at home?  Does it cost you a fortune?
I know for me, I don't "pamper" myself with massages, lotions, oils, and other beauty regimes at all.  A little because I'm not big on people touching me, some because I'm not quite sure what they're using on my body, but mainly...to be honest, it's because of the costs.  I am a savvy shopper and like to get things on sale and cheap.  I don't mean I like to get poor products.  It means, I shop around and get the best products possible for myself.  I like to be healthy and want my body treated the same way.
I found the perfect book for those of you that are the same way!

Lemons are a Girl's Best Friend by Janet Hayward includes sixty superfood recipes (30 different superfoods) to look AND feel your very best.  If you've heard of superfoods, but aren't exactly sure what they are, American Heart Association said, they "are good for your heart and your overall health when incorporated into a heart-healthy diet that's balanced in lean protein, whole grains, fruits, vegetables and low-fat milk and dairy products".  There really isn't a full list of superfoods anywhere, but many are spoken of through various sites if you search for them.
Hayward included foods such as: avocado, mango, peaches, blueberry, mint, seaweed, etc. in this book.
I love the way the book is organized!  There is a page which has the name of the superfood, followed by the properties of the food.  The page next to it is an illustration/drawing.  When you flip the page, it has a recipe that is good for your inside (something you can eat) and then the following page has a recipe that is good for your outside (a beauty treatment).  Majority of the recipes are five ingredients or less, which I love  I enjoy cooking, but the fewer ingredients a recipe has, the better chance of me trying it again.
I can't wait to get started on making some of these recipes, especially the beauty treatment ones! I can guarantee they're going to smell good.  I'll definitely share with friends and family when I start cooking.
I hope you check out a little about Hayward and this book here and pre-order one for yourself (and even a loved one).  It's nice and hardback and bound so will last you through all your cooking adventures.  Let me know what you end up making!

I received this book from Blogging For Books for this review.
